More on climate thoughts.

I read this from MSN news link.
Most Scientists believe, climate change — the warming of oceans — has allowed some of the almost 2,000 jellyfish species to expand their ranges, appear earlier in the year and increase overall numbers, much as warming has helped ticks, bark beetles and other pests to spread to new latitudes.
The gelatinous seaborne creatures (Jellyfish) are blamed for decimating fishing industries in the Bering and Black seas, forcing the shutdown of seaside power and desalination plants in Japan, the Middle East and Africa, and terrorizing beachgoers worldwide.
In 2007, a salmon farm in Northern Ireland lost its more than 100,000 fish to an attack by the mauve stinger.

One fisherman stated; It was a good living, until the jellyfish began inundating the bay in 2002, sometimes numbering 500 million, reducing fish catches by 30 percent and slashing fish prices by half over concerns about caught fish quality.

Increasingly polluted waters — off China, for example — boost the growth of the microscopic plankton that "jellyfish" feed upon, while overfishing has eliminated many of the jellyfish's predators and cut down on competitors for plankton feed.
Off the east coast jelly-filled nets capsized a 10-ton trawler as its crew tried to pull them up.

We need to make these findings along with the dramatic real time video of the glaciers melting, a spring board for the immidiate need to address causes that in combination contibute to the rapidly decaying of the planet we call home. I remember also reading one of the largest lakes is being depleted by an inch a week, due to evaporation.

Op-Ed News and repower America are good sites to get letters to newspapers.
